WELCOME TO TOKYO

Everything that is both traditional and modern about Japan is found in Tokyo. Its a city of amazing architecture and fashion, delicious cuisine, and cutting-edge technology. Artistic and cultural traditions have been honed to perfection but the city is also a master of innovation and reinvention. With DK Eyewitness Top 10 Tokyo, its yours to explore.

You may have in mind the Tokyo of popular imagination, a perpetually buzzing, utterly contemporary metropolis, illuminated by neon. But this is also a city of tranquil gardens, ancient temples, and shrines, such as the Koishikawa Koraku-en Garden and Meiji Jingu Shrine. Prepare to be beguiled by the beauty of traditional arts and crafts available to view in museums or buy in stores that have been tended by the same families for generations.

And then there is the food. The famous fish market may have moved to a new location in Toyosu but many specialist food stores remain in the Tsukiji area, an ideal introduction to Japans unique culinary culture. The tastes of Edo the old name for the capital linger in the backstreets of Yanaka and the precincts of Asakusa. Best of all, despite its sprawling size and millions of inhabitants, Tokyo works like a dream. Public transportation is fast, efficient, and inexpensive. Polite service is a given, as are clean streets that are safe to walk any time of the day or night.

Whether youre visiting for a weekend or a week, our Top 10 guide brings together the best of everything the city has to offer, from the glitz of Ginza to the street fashion of Shibuya. The guide has useful tips throughout, from seeking out whats free to places off the beaten path, plus nine easy-to-follow itineraries designed to tie together a clutch of sights in a short space of time. Add inspiring photography and detailed maps, and youve got the essential pocket-sized travel companion. Enjoy the book, and enjoy Tokyo.

IMPERIAL PALACE GROUNDS

Located at the center of one of the largest cities in the world, the Imperial Palace grounds sit amid a galaxy of busy urban areas. This enormous compound contains the magnificent residence of the emperor, along with a variety of moats, stone walls, watchtowers, gates, and fairytale bridges. The public areas of the grounds are also home to several museums, galleries, and beautiful Japanese gardens. This is a solemn spot, resonating with cultural meaning, and is among the few places where one can witness the incredible persistence of history.

  • All museums in the complex are closed on Mondays (except for public holidays). Try to visit the grounds early: the tour groups turn up by mid-morning. The best plum and cherry blossom viewing is from February to mid-April, and azaleas and dogwood in mid-May.
  • Picnics are permitted in Kitanomaru Park, but its better to cross the road south of the palace grounds for Hibiya Park, where a pleasant caf serves noodles, sandwiches, and even British fish and chips.

This entrance to the outer gardens was erected in 1457. A survivor of earthquakes, fires, and air raids, the entrance consists of two structures: one, a broad inner gate, is angled at 90-degrees to thwart intruders.
